Hop L

HOP-L Injection is a sterile intravenous infusion containing L-Alanyl L-Glutamine in a 50 ml formulation. It is designed to provide glutamine supplementation in patients who require nutritional support, particularly during critical illness, major surgery, trauma, burns, or other conditions associated with increased metabolic stress. HOP-L is administered under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals in hospitals and intensive care settings.

L-Alanyl L-Glutamine is a stable dipeptide that serves as a source of glutamine, one of the most abundant amino acids in the human body. During severe illness or stress, the body’s glutamine reserves may become depleted, affecting immune function, muscle protein synthesis, and intestinal health. Supplementation with L-Alanyl L-Glutamine helps restore glutamine levels, supporting recovery and overall nutritional status.

Composition

• L-Alanyl L-Glutamine IV Infusion
• Pack Size: 50 ml IV Infusion

Uses of HOP-L Injection

HOP-L Injection is recommended as part of nutritional therapy in patients requiring additional glutamine supplementation. It may be used in:

• Critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs)
• Patients recovering from major surgery
• Trauma and burn patients
• Individuals receiving parenteral nutrition
• Patients with increased metabolic or catabolic stress
• Cases where oral or enteral nutrition is inadequate

The infusion should always be administered according to the treating physician’s recommendations.

How Does HOP-L Injection Work?

L-Alanyl L-Glutamine acts as a stable carrier of glutamine. After intravenous administration, the dipeptide is rapidly broken down into L-alanine and L-glutamine.

Glutamine helps:

• Support immune cell function
• Maintain the integrity of the intestinal lining
• Promote protein synthesis and tissue repair
• Improve nitrogen balance
• Support recovery during severe illness and stress

Alanine also contributes to energy metabolism and assists in maintaining normal physiological functions.

Key Benefits

• Provides an effective source of glutamine
• Supports recovery during critical illness
• Helps maintain intestinal and immune health
• Assists in protein synthesis and tissue repair
• Suitable for patients receiving parenteral nutrition
• Sterile IV formulation for hospital use

Administration

HOP-L Injection should be administered only by trained healthcare professionals through intravenous infusion. The dosage and duration depend on the patient’s nutritional requirements, clinical condition, body weight, and physician’s assessment. It should not be self-administered.

Possible Side Effects

HOP-L Injection is generally well tolerated when used as prescribed. However, some patients may experience:

• Mild infusion site irritation
• Nausea
• Headache
• Fever
• Allergic reactions (rare)

If any severe reaction or unusual symptoms develop, immediate medical attention should be sought.

Precautions
